Record Eagle Count


Very cool. During the recently completed mid-winter survey, a record 621 eagles were found to be nesting in Ohio. The previous record, 540, was set in 2006.

Bald eagles were found living in 66 of Ohio's 88 counties.

Very, very cool, considering there was a time when wildlife biologists in the state would keep nest sites secret to keep away the curious, over fear eagles would abandon those nests.
